Upon hearing the news that the head priestess had come all the way to Havana, Ursula dropped her shoulders and headed for the port.

Even if Ursula came out on her own, Noah wondered if this would be so terrifying, and asked Mui-Mui, who was following her, a question.

“Is Daemu-nim that scary?”

“hmm… … It’s a bit scary for me to say this, but it’s scary. Aside from being a Master Knight, he’s also a far-fetched person in terms of distribution.”

Felix, who was next to him, helped MuiMui.

“The current Grand Miko is a classmate of your grandfather and Night Ray.”

“… … What the hell did you do here, senior?”

“As you live, there are certain things you have to do even when you know you’re going to get annoyed, Noah.”

“So you were drinking?”

“But Master doesn’t let me drink!”

“Ah, I thought you were trying to sell the alcohol you stole before, but you drank it all by yourself.”

Ursula stole all of Aslan’s alcohol that Roselia found while cleaning.

It was nothing new to Noah that Ursula liked to drink.

“There is no such thing as a perfect great witch other than the great priestess? That’s what sent Mui-Mui. Don’t talk nonsense, just show up in front of me on your own. I think I now understand the feeling of livestock being dragged to the slaughterhouse on their own feet.”

“I know for sure that seniors are cheap even if they get scolded.”

Their destination was a large hotel located near the port.

This hotel, which was rented out entirely for the Top Sword host, was being used as a lodging for the participants and a headquarters for the host.

“Ursula.”

“Ugh, Camilla. did you come?”

There was a person who found Ursula when she arrived at the headquarters and spoke to her.

The woman called Camilla was a blonde woman with her hair up in a rather quaint way.

Similar to Mui-Mui, but lavishly decorated as if he were in a higher position.

In addition, she was accompanied by a person wearing the same maid outfit as Mui-Mui.

‘Is this also the shrine maiden of the Crescent Islands?’

“The High Priestess is having a meeting with Theodore-nim about the proceedings. Please calmly reflect and wait. But what about these people?”

“They are my juniors at school and Top Sword contestants. Say hello, this is Camilla, a classmate of mine.”

“Now I am a nun. It’s definitely your superior, so be polite.”

“yeah. I understand, it will be better.”

Hara did not reflect, but Camilla’s expression crumpled at Ursula’s mischievous appearance.

“Didn’t I tell you not to play around? You always have a problem with that. I became a nun because you suddenly ran away to the nightray… … .”

Camilla, who was inadvertently rushing forward, made eye contact with Noah’s group and shut her mouth.

“Should I pretend I didn’t see it?”

“Well, I would appreciate it if you did.”

The agreement was quickly reached and Noah smacked his lips.

‘Ursula-senpai gave me plenty of pocket money if I pretended not to see her.’

In the meantime, I felt a presence from inside.

jump!

“So now you want to come back and serve as the emperor’s enforcer again! … … oh? The stray cat is back!”

The one who came out with Theodore was a small child who looked at least the same age as Mui-Mui.

However, from the moment Ursula met her eyes, she began to tremble as if she had met a tiger.

“Does the disciple have a lot of trouble?”

“What is it? In that sense, you are really great. The twins who got married at an early age are already showing off their talents.”

“I only taught two people. How can only Cocoa-sama, who has to take care of so many disciples?”

Cocoa, the high priestess of the Crescent Islands.

The legendary knight who had reigned as Master Knight for over 100 years looked surprisingly young.

“hmm? What are you guys?”

The child’s gaze then reached Noah’s group behind him.

Theodore introduced Noah and the others to Cocoa.

“Nightray side contestants of the year. They are the juniors to the disciple.”

“Huh.”

Cocoa looked at the group curiously and asked Ursula.

“You’re not going to take care of me because you’re a junior, right? For example, did you inform me of the game in advance?”

hot!

Ursula turned her head away from Cocoa’s eyes.

Lies don’t work in front of Master Knight.

All I can do is say nothing.

That alone made the meaning clear.

“Oh, doo.”

With Cocoa clutching her forehead, Theodore quickly took control of the situation.

“It would be good to announce the details of the match as soon as possible. We will take action so that stories of biased benefits do not come out.”

“Should he just be released at this point? Do you think it will work?”

“Cheap!”

Ursula quickly grabbed Cocoa’s legs and stretched them out.

Seeing her clinging to the much smaller Cocoa was quite funny, but Noah couldn’t help laughing.

-Are you Vincent’s grandson?

Cocoa recognized Noah.

* * *

Noah’s grandfather, Vincent Lichtenauer, was asked by Emperor Guanghui to study the contents of the Book of Unknown Swordsmanship.

The reason for her retirement was left unresolved by the emperor, but it was not something that had to be kept absolutely confidential.

Thanks to him, family and friends knew where he had gone,

And some of them knew why,

A handful of people were even aware of Noah’s existence.

“Did you come?”

Noah, who heard the story of meeting separately through electronic music, took the time to find cocoa.

The office of a trading company owned by the Temple of the Moon.

Cocoa and Camilla are waiting for Noah there.

“I heard that he was a close friend of my grandfather. I also have a lot of questions, so I have something to say, but I can’t leave it out.”

“Whoops, you’ve even stripped down your personality. sit down The story might be long.”

It would have been awkward to sit down first while Camilla, who is said to be a maid, was standing there like an attendant, but Noah did not decline.

From noble mtl dot com.

Cocoa saw that and introduced Camilla to Noah.

“This child is my heir. A few stories about you are kept secret, but they deserve to be heard. No, you don’t have to listen to it. You never know when I will die.”

“Daemumai!”

Camilla was frightened at the word of death, but Cocoa waved her hand.

“noisy. When you’re my age, no matter where you die, it’s just a natural death. Then, as the head of the organization, you should prepare for the next death. Anyway, this is our chore.”

She changed the subject as if it were annoying.

“Have you met the people of the Liechtenauers?”

“Not yet.”

It was only recently that I learned that my grandfather was from the Lichtenauer family, one of the eighth generation.

Noah hadn’t met the people there yet.

It was unclear whether or not we should treat each other as family when we met.

“What is it? Because those guys have been in the camp since Vincent retired. But we’ll see you soon. Since Vincent sent you down, we will resume our activities.”

“I guess you know me well?”

“Everyone knows. I even changed your diaper when you were little.”

“yes?”

“At that time, I was also working as an enforcer.”

Noah wondered what the Daemu-nyeo had to do with diapers as she also served as an executive officer.

Even if my grandfather was a high-ranking member of the 8th generation family, isn’t Daemu-nyeo also a high-ranking member of the 4th generation of Geomrim?

It wasn’t time for her to change someone else’s baby’s diaper.

“It was only once, though. You were suddenly crying when Vincent left you in his car and was away.”

“Ah, yes… … .”

“It was my first time changing a diaper, so I had a hard time. You are probably the first baby in this world to have wiped its butt with a sword.”

Watching him chatter while immersed in memories alone, Noah finally realized that the person in front of him was the same age as his grandfather.

“Then can I call you Grandma?”

-kill.

“I’ll correct it with sister.”

I almost stopped breathing because I was laughing and spitting out life.

Cocoa was already at a level where she could kill a person just by opening her eyes.

“Heom-hum, you have to call an unmarried lady grandmother.”

“… … .”

He had a lot to say, but he said nothing because his life was precious.

“Then let’s get to the main topic, and the words that will follow from here on are top secret, so just in case, don’t go anywhere and talk about it.”

gulp!

Not only Noah but also Camilla were nervous at the thought that an important story would begin from now on.

“A few days ago, Emperor Guanghui issued a top secret order to all master knights in the empire. I can’t explain the details, but Master Knights, including me, will probably be busy for a while.”

“That word… … .”

“okay. Something must have been conveyed to Vincent. To the extent that it calls out even me who is stuck in the Crescent Islands.”

Noah recalled that Cocoa, who had previously talked with Theodore, came out talking about what the bailiff was saying.

‘Am I going to call back even the retired bailiff?’

The emperor’s executive officer was a kind of emissary-like position who only followed the orders of the imperial family.

The empire was so vast that all the knights could not be grouped into one system, and as such, there were cases where a single family possessed a nation-sized army.

The bailiff was one of the means to maintain control of the central government, and unwavering loyalty and strong arms were essential.

In other words, it is the highest official position that only master knights or those with similar skills can ascend.

“If I am away, Camilla, you will be the general manager of the Temple of the Moon. There may be a lot of absences in the future, so you should be aware.”

“Then what about me?”

Camilla, even so, why would Noah say this to himself?

Although Noah had a connection with Vincent, it was unclear whether it was enough to reveal top-secret information.

“The High Priestess of the Crescent Islands has a promise to pass on to the successor of the Book of Unknown Swordsmanship.”

“A promise? I didn’t hear that… … .”

“of course. Because this is a promise I made with the owner of the Unknown Swordsman, not with Vincent. Surely you still don’t think that Vincent invented your swordsmanship by himself?”

It wasn’t.

The Lichtenauer family, which is called the grandfather’s family, is one of the eighth generation families.

The swordsmanship of the 8 families had common characteristics enough to be classified as the same ‘degree’.

The inevitable characteristics seen in long-honed swordsmanship.

‘But it’s not my swordsmanship.’

If it was the swordsmanship of the Lichtenau family, there was no reason for Emperor Gwanghui to have his grandfather complete this swordsmanship.

“Vincent has a naive side, so he promised to perfect his swordsmanship, but then he shut himself away. I promised something else because I couldn’t leave the Crescent Islands behind.”

“Who the hell is the owner of the Book of Unknown Swordsmanship… … ?”

If the Master Knights were zealous enough to keep their promise, it was clear that he himself would not have been an ordinary person.

However, Cocoa had no intention of revealing the contents of the promise to Noah yet.

“If you’re curious, win the top sword and come. It’s still too early for a guy who can’t win a tournament like this.”
